Synopsis

A sweet sapphic romance takes a deadly dark turn in this sharp-as-a-knife novella with the slow build menace of Angela Carter's The Bloody Chamber—from a New York Times-bestselling author hailed by Chuck Wendig as "a storyteller working at the top of her class."

Rosemary meets Ash at the farmers' market. Ash—precise, pretty, and practically perfect—sells bars of soap in delicate pastel colors, sprinkle-spackled cupcakes stacked on scalloped stands, beeswax candles, jelly jars of honey, and glossy green plants.

Ro has never felt this way about another woman; with Ash, she wants to be her and have her in equal measure. But as her obsession with Ash consumes her, she may find she's not the one doing the devouring . . .

Told in lush, delectable prose, this is a deliciously dark tale of passion taking an unsavory turn . . .

Contains mature themes.

In some ways this is a very cozy little book, starting out at the farmers market. However this one does not dis......more

🚨U🚨P🚨D🚨A🚨T🚨E🚨 After discussing this with several friends, I realize that I may have misunderstood this book. It seems as though the characters were not meant to be liked or relatable. They were written to be toxic and possibly aggressively-male-coded. That being the case, a reread is in order. Havin......more
